On UFC Tonight last night, the unbeaten heavyweight explained why he's going down to light heavyweightregardless of what happens at UFC 166 later this fall (Oct. 19, 2013), and he doesn't plan on doing it alone.

"I don't want to fight Cain (Velasquez) but I also want to start living life a little healthier, I've got kids now. A lot of fans have asked me to go down to 205, they've been asking me since I started fighting. So now I'm doing it, but I'm starting to put the earnest on them, I want them to do it with me. I have a website GetFitwithDC.com and I can watch their progress as we go down together."

Cormier of course, had his issues in the past where a rough weight cut forced him out of the Olympics due to kidney failure despite being voted captain of the team. He's taking his time making the cut this time around, doing it the right way.

The American Kickboxing Academy standout expects his teammate to defend the title, but even if he doesn't, Cormier isn't sticking around to see how the heavyweight division sorts itself out:

"I'm confident (Junior dos Santos) won't win that fight and, as I said, it doesn't matter. I want to try to live healthier for my kids and for my family. I want to live a longer life, a healthier life, so I'm going to go down regardless."

I think it all depends on how DC fights Jones...whenever/if the fight happens. I think he has what it takes to go in and fearlessly get in Jones's face. Kind of like Rampage to Chuck. The guy that beats Jones will be the guy that is not scared, in awe, or giving too much respect to him inside the cage (yet still has the talent, toughness, and tools).

DC/Machida (if Machida stays at 205)
DC/Shogun
DC/Rashad
DC/Glover
DC/Gustaffson
DC/Phil Davis
DC/Vitor (maybe the only way for that is a title fight)
And of course DC/Jones.

Yes please. The man has some of the best wrestling in any division and has drastically improved his stand up game over the last few years. A fight between him and Glover for the title would be an absolute joy to watch. And at 34, the aforementioned fights could serve as a great end to a career, maybe with one or two rematches added if no other contenders emerge.

Red are the ones i would bet money on DC losing, the machida one id be 50/50 on to be honest. I tihnk it would come down to a decision and it would be a matter of what judge scores what during the fight

I think the fights with Glover and Jones are tossups. And I would agree with you on the Machida matchup. Every other fight I see him winning. At least I'd think he would win.
